re:Just saying hello ,and a request for basil recipes... - 2005/10/04 00:26
The first thing to come to mind with basile is Pesto sauce; but I figure you probably know about that. It's one of my favorites on pasta. It's also good as a snack as a dip for cherry tomatoes. In case you don't have a recipe, a google.com search for pesto sauce will bring up a lot of recipes to try. I prefer the traditional one with basil, oil, garlic, parmesan (or parmesan tofu clone), and pignoli nuts; but there are recipes out for for walnut pesto, etc.
I also like fresh basil cute in thin slivers and put on thick slices of tomato sprinkled with good olive oil, salt and pepper and broiled on low till heated through but not till basil burns. If you have some fresh oregano, you can put some of that on as well. You can also sprinkle mix some parmesan with the herbs, salt and pepper, sprinkle that on the tomato slices and sprinkle with the olive oil and broil till the bread crumbs are lightly browned.
Tomato/basil soup is also very good. Again, use the google search to find tomato soup recipes.
Enjoy!
Namaste!
